It's definitely on the cool side here today and we are so not used to this kind of weather ~ grey skies, rain, hail and a cool southerly wind. The Winter woolies have made an appearance. Inside it is warm and cozy in a very pleasant way; the only noise is the sound of the rain and of course the whir of the sewing machine.

This large large pile of fabric is my play thing today. It's enough fabric for two whole quilts; backing and binding included. Just mine .... for now, that is (it seems May is the month of The Giveaway!). The biggest crafting decision today is whether I should go with the cool palette:

Seen as you're experiencing some cooler weather,(though to be honest when its 13/55 here in the UK we declare summer to be on it's way and the short sleeves are out!!) I'd go for the warmer palette!! Both are delicious though aren't they?

What do you mean your not used to wet weather?! Its Melbourne! Actually its been wet here too, but the last two days have been divine, hope some comes down to you, love the warm palette for winter too! That lot would keep me busy for a couple of months! Love to see what you do with it all, put the fluffy slippers on and keep warm!

They're both wonderful... I'd love to see you make something of the warm palate though. I bought the cool palate and love it... might be tempted to go back for some of the warms when I'm wowed by whatever you make! :)

the warm palette! I was just at the fabric store trying to pick fabrics to go in my son's quilt, I'm always embarrassed thinking I'm not very good with colour and on the way home I thought of you and how nice it would be to be able to pick out fabrics from stash with out worrying about if they go together with someone looking on. But then I do like to have someone else's opinion too.

What about mixing the two together? One side of the quilt the warm palette and the other side the cool palette. Remember we always complain is too hot in the summer and is too cold in the winter. That way you can pick or choose following the weather! – Not a bad idea

How cold is it! It snowed just up the road from us (we are in the Dandenong Ranges) and we had not quite snow and not quite rain. Certainly wintery. I have a charm pack of the material you are contemplating. I like both the warm and cool options and honestly can't decide which one. So I'm no help. I'm sure which ever you choose, it will look great. Jacinta
